Comments During the last phase of 1946, MRA Productions launched ``Mana Desam'', directed by L. V. Prasad. The film starring Ch. Narayana Rao, Nagaiah and Krishnaveni introduced N. T. Rama Rao in the role of a sub-inspector of police. Based on the Bengali novel, ``Vipradas,'' this was perhaps the first full-fledged film on the freedom movement, though mixed with family sentiments. But as envisaged by its producers, the film could not be released on August 15, 1947. It hit the theatres only two years later. ( Article in THE HINDU <>Complete Article)
